5 suspended bowlers who returned after a modified action

Sunil Narine

The drab West Indian bowling attack of the early 2010s got a breath of fresh air with the arrival of Sunil Narine, a mystery spinner with the skill-set to trouble the best. Bowling stifling lines at a nagging trajectory, Narine has the ability to make the ball do just enough to entice the batsman, and then trap him.

His fledgeling international career was cut from the wings when all of his variations were reported to have been delivered exceeding the 15-degree permissible action limit. He had already remodelled it once using biomechanics before his ODI, but had to go through another series of corrective measures after the Champions League T20 2014.

He changed his action one more time, which was given the green light by the ICC this year.
